No, there's still a plethora of stuff that can go wrong so I believe it when he runs out onto the pitch in the stripes. And then he's certain to pull up with a hamstring...

Tony Bloom has been absolutely brilliant for our club and its very obvious that he is a true Brighton football fan. Whatever happens Tony has laid the foundations down for a very successful future as the facilities we have are some of the best in the world, for this we will always be grateful, I trust the Mr Bloom, I think he is running the club the correct way, I like the fact that we are not splashed around on the back pages. I am also sure that he didn’t want a replica of what happened to Oscar last season, I would be amazed if he never sat down with Sami and had a 2/3 year plan where Sami builds things his way, I struggle to believe that such a big name would sign for Brighton with doubts over the transfer policy, I am not a big fan of Mr Burke but I do feel that Tony and Sami will bring success to the club, it may not be instant, but I am sure that it will happen. It’s not great that some of our players have left, but sorry 2.5 million for Buckley is a great bit of business as was Ulloa. Tony Bloom knows the situation, Sami knows the situation, they know we need players and I am convinced we will get these players. Sami needs to build his own team and yes there will be hiccups along the way, but I for one only want players who want to put 100% into our club and if they want to leave then let them go.
